The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince Chapter 193

Chapter 193 What a courageous dog

Du Wan noticed that the boy was about to finish his noodles.

According to this young man's caution, he would probably pay the bill and leave after finishing the noodles.

Du Wan winked at Du Qian.

Du Qian nodded imperceptibly, raised his hand and patted his shoulder twice, as if to brush off the dust on his shoulder.

After a while, a little beggar ran into the tavern, came to the table of the Du Qian brothers and sisters, put down a letter and ran away quickly.

Du Qian opened it on the spot and looked at it with a solemn expression, then handed it to Du Wan to read, "...is this news true or false?"

 “You will know whether it is true or false after checking.”

 Suddenly receiving the news, the brother and sister left in a hurry.

 The young man followed immediately.

The brothers and sisters came out of the tavern and went directly to the third-bedroom house of the Xie family.

Mr. Xie San is not here.

 But Mrs. Xie San and Mrs. Xie Wu are both there.

 As soon as they saw the brother and sister, their expressions changed.

Previously, Prince Consort Du politely handed over the notice for his visit, and the mother and son could still use the excuse that someone in the family had recently been mourned and it was not convenient to receive noble people. At the same time, he had to hide it and not let Mr. Xie San know about it. This time, they didn't post the message, but came directly to the door with force, and their attitude was no longer polite. The mother and son were suddenly at their wits end.

Du Wan asked directly: "Mrs. Xie San, do you know why the princess came to your door?"

“No, I don't know.” Mrs. Xie San stuttered.

Du Wan asked: "Have I received news that you want to kill those two maids?"

"Nonsense! It's unjust. It's okay." Mrs. Xie San retorted excitedly.

Du Wan sneered coldly, "Really? Well, then, you call them out."

“But, the two humble maids are sick, and I'm afraid they might bump into the noble...” Mrs. Xie San still wanted to shirk.

"What a courageous dog! Are you taking this princess for a fool?" Du Wan slapped the table with her small hand.

 The tea bowl on the table was shaken by the shock, and some tea spilled out.

Du Wan said angrily: "Don't you Xie family think about it?"

"Princess, please calm down." Mrs. Xie San quickly knelt down.

Xie Wu believed that he was a scholar and had even passed the examination for the title of Juren, but he insisted on not kneeling.

Du Qian's eyes were filled with frost as he looked at Xie Wu, "Xie Wu, the house behind Ruyi Inn is quite interesting. You must have enjoyed yourself last night. If this matter spreads, you will no longer want the honor of being a successful candidate." Is it normal for a person with bad moral character to have his title revoked?"

　　Boom!

These words were like a thunder, hitting Xie Wu directly.

 The blood on Xie Wu's face was half frightened.

 Without his fame, how will he take the scientific examination in the future? !

Du Qian said in a deep voice: "Those two maids are probably dead."

"No! No!" Xie Wu was so shocked that he quickly denied it.

Mrs. Xie San quickly said: "No, those two maids are still fine."

Du Wan sneered and said, "Okay? Are you afraid that we will come to your door if you are okay? If you are so scared, it can't be an attack on the princess... You are also involved, right?"

This question is a serious crime.

Mrs. Xie Wu and Xie San were so frightened that they no longer dared to hide it. He took Du Wan and Du Qian to a remote courtyard in the backyard.

Du Wan and Du Qian walked into the dilapidated courtyard and smelled the smell of rotten wood.

This courtyard should not have been inhabited for a long time, but now there are two maids living in it.

 The situation of the two people is not good now. One of them is still lying on a broken board with only a piece of clothing covering him. It seems that he is seriously ill. Both maids knew how much torture Murong Jiaojiao suffered after marrying Xie Wu. In fact, they are all victims. When they were rushed to the yard, everyone thought they were in danger this time. Meeting Du Wan and Du Qian, another maid, was like meeting a savior.

He immediately rushed to Du Wan and knelt down, "Princess, help!"

 Du Wan: “…”

Du Qian turned to look at the Xie family's mother and son.

 The two people were staring at the kneeling maid.

Mrs. Xie San was even more angry and said: "Yan Ju, what nonsense are you talking about? Has the Xie Mansion ever treated you badly?"

 "Slave, maid..." Yan Ju was panicked.

Xie Wu wanted to go up and kick Yan Ju.

 But the guards intercepted it.

Du Wan said to the bodyguard: "Please ask the third lady Xie and the fifth young master Xie to come out of the courtyard."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 offices

Several guards came over and immediately took Xie Wu out, one on the left and the other on the right.

Mrs. Xie San is a woman and she didn't want her foreigner to touch her, so she quickly retreated.

　　Now, the yard is clean.

The eldest maid next to Murong Jiaojiao had a chance to meet Du Wan in the past when she attended various banquets with her master.

Du Wan asked: "Your name is Yan Ju, right?"

"The servant is Yan Ju, and the one who is sick is Yan Mei." Yan Ju knelt on the ground and kowtowed, tears falling from her eyes. She had the impulse just now to kneel down in front of Du Wan and ask for help, but suddenly she felt I don't have the courage to continue talking.

On the other hand, Yanmei, who was lying in bed, struggled to get up and looked at the Du Wan brothers and sisters with hopeful eyes. Perhaps, this is a person's desire for life.

Yan Mei did not ask for help like Yan Ju, but said weakly: "Princess, I want to make a deal with you."

 “What is there in you that is worthy of my attention?”

“Yes. An iron plate and a blood letter left by the guard of the Princess's Mansion before his death.”

“…” Du Wan's face suddenly darkened.

Du Qian was okay on the surface, but deep down he was also filled with anger.

In order to win the trust of the brothers and sisters, Yanmei told them an incident that had happened.

On the day Du Wan disappeared last time, Murong Jiaojiao lost her temper and left the city, wanting to go to Zhuangzi to relax. I accidentally saw a man in black chasing a man. They were so frightened that they hid.

That night, they saw the man being hunted hiding in Murong's village. Before he died, the man asked Murong Jiaojiao to help send a message back to the princess' mansion.

Murong Jiaojiao agreed on the spot and received a blood letter and an iron plate.

 Just after the man died, Murong Jiaojiao had his body carried to the mountain and thrown away, and he also asked his maid to destroy the blood book and iron plaque. When Yan Mei went to deal with it, she secretly hid two things.

Yanmei said weakly: "The blood book is a piece of white cloth, it should have been torn from the inner garment."

Hearing this, Du Qian's expression finally changed.

Du Wan looked at Du Qian, "Brother?"

"The body of a guard was found, and a large piece of his underwear was torn off. My father was a little strange at the time and asked people to investigate, but nothing was found. So that's it..." Du Qian whispered to him. After her sister finished explaining, she no longer questioned Yan Mei's words, "Tell me, what are your conditions?"

"I want to leave the Xie family with Yan Ju and find a way to survive." Yan Mei is a smart girl and will not make excessive demands.

Du Qian immediately agreed, "Okay. Where are the things?"

　　　"Outside the village, buried under a big tree."

Yanmei revealed the place where the things were buried, and was not afraid that Du Qian and his sister would not fulfill their promise.
